Q.61 Easy Physics
A ball is thrown upward with initial velocity 20 m/s. Taking g = 10 m/s², what is the maximum height reached?
A10 m
B15 m
C20 m
D25 m
Correct Answer:  C. 20 m
Explanation:

Using v² = u² - 2gh, where final velocity v = 0 at maximum height: 0 = (20)² - 2(10)h, so h = 400/20 = 20 m.

Q.62 Easy Physics
Which of the following has the highest specific heat capacity among common substances?
AIron
BWater
CCopper
DAluminum
Correct Answer:  B. Water
Explanation:

Water has specific heat capacity of 4186 J/(kg·°C), which is significantly higher than iron (~450), copper (~385), and aluminum (~900). This property makes water excellent for heat absorption and temperature regulation.

Q.63 Easy Physics
Which of the following statements about velocity is correct?
AVelocity is a scalar quantity that can never be negative
BVelocity is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude and direction
CVelocity and speed are always equal in magnitude
DVelocity remains constant in circular motion
Correct Answer:  B. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude and direction
Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction, unlike speed which is scalar. Velocity can be negative, and in circular motion, velocity constantly changes direction.

Q.64 Easy Physics
A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. What is the maximum height reached? (Take g = 10 m/s²)
A10 m
B20 m
C30 m
D40 m
Correct Answer:  B. 20 m
Explanation:

Using v² = u² - 2gh, where final velocity v = 0, u = 20 m/s, g = 10 m/s². Therefore, 0 = 400 - 20h, giving h = 20 m.

Q.65 Easy Physics
Which law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied and inversely proportional to its mass?
ANewton's First Law
BNewton's Second Law
CNewton's Third Law
DLaw of Universal Gravitation
Correct Answer:  B. Newton's Second Law
Explanation:

Newton's Second Law: F = ma, where acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass.

Q.66 Easy Physics
A 2 kg object accelerates at 5 m/s² when a net force is applied. What is the magnitude of the net force?
A2.5 N
B5 N
C10 N
D20 N
Correct Answer:  C. 10 N
Explanation:

Using F = ma, F = 2 × 5 = 10 N. This is a direct application of Newton's Second Law.

Q.67 Easy Physics
Which color of visible light has the longest wavelength?
AViolet
BBlue
CYellow
DRed
Correct Answer:  D. Red
Explanation:

The visible light spectrum ranges from violet (shortest wavelength ~400 nm) to red (longest wavelength ~700 nm). Red light has the longest wavelength among visible light.

Q.68 Easy Physics
Which of the following is the SI unit of electric potential?
AJoule per Coulomb
BNewton per Coulomb
CAmpere per Ohm
DWatt per Ampere
Correct Answer:  A. Joule per Coulomb
Explanation:

Electric potential is defined as work done per unit charge. SI unit is Joule/Coulomb = Volt. Option D (Watt/Ampere) also equals Volt but option A is more fundamental.

Q.69 Easy Physics
A convex lens has a focal length of 15 cm. An object is placed 30 cm from the lens. Where will the image form?
A30 cm on the opposite side (real, inverted, same size)
B15 cm on the opposite side (real, inverted, magnified)
C45 cm on the same side (virtual, erect, diminished)
D20 cm on the opposite side (real, inverted, magnified)
Correct Answer:  A. 30 cm on the opposite side (real, inverted, same size)
Explanation:

Using lens formula: 1/f = 1/u + 1/v. 1/15 = 1/30 + 1/v gives v = 30 cm. When u = 2f, image forms at 2f with magnification -1 (same size, inverted, real).

Q.70 Easy Physics
Which phenomenon is responsible for the reddish appearance of the Sun at sunset?
ARefraction
BScattering of light
CDispersion
DDiffraction
Correct Answer:  B. Scattering of light
Explanation:

At sunset, light travels through a longer path in the atmosphere. Shorter wavelengths (blue) scatter more (Rayleigh scattering), leaving longer wavelengths (red) to reach the observer.
